Brown is in contention to feature against Montreal Impact on Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park (TICKETS), and will depart for New Jersey on Sunday.

“Deshorn continues to show his abilities and potential with both his club and his country,” said Paul Bravo, the Rapids VP of Soccer Operations. “We’re happy that Jamaica is giving him these opportunities to play at a very high level, and we wish him the best.”

Brown, 23, has two goals in nine matches (seven starts) so far in 2014, following a stellar rookie season in 2013 when he had ten goals in 31 matches, leading all first-year players.
